Near Earth Objects ~ NEO's

A Near Earth Object, NEO, is an
asteroid, comet or large meteoroid whose orbit
intersects the Earth's orbit and which may pose a
collision danger. Throughout the Earth's history,
NEO's have been responsible for extinction events, such
as the demise of dinosaurs.

NASA tracks Near Earth Objects
through its NEO program and it lists every known
potential future Earth impact event. Depending upon the
size and nature of the NEO, Planet Earth may be facing
Armageddon.

But not all Near Earth Objects will
result in a Doomsday event. Some may wreak havoc on the
Earth's climate. Although the government is working on a
program to modify the orbit of asteroids, for example,
this technology is years away. In the meantime, prepping
for a NEO impact should be part of your Preparedness
Plan.
